What do Toronto’s Skydome, a farm and an ocean vessel have in common? Confined space.

Perhaps the biggest problems involving work in confined space is the failure on both the employer and the worker to identify a particular work environment as such. As far as occupational safety is concerned, confined space varies in different industries. Whether it’s a 200-sq.ft. boiler room or the basement of the 11-acre Rogers Centre in Toronto, confined spaces come in different shapes and sizes, and it’s important to be able to identify and assess each of them before any work is performed.
